Dark Roasted Japanese green tea

We admire hojicha for its quiet confidence. Hojicha was never created to be ceremonial or rare. It emerged from practicality — tea merchants in 1920s Kyoto transformed everyday tea leaves through roasting into a comforting new tea category. The roasting softens sharpness into warmth and bitterness into calm.

This Dark Roast version leans fully into hojicha’s deeper character. The leaves are roasted longer and at higher intensity, drawing out rich, toasty aromatics and a more enveloping, full-bodied cup. It’s grounding, warming, and deeply satisfying.

If you’re looking for a roasted tea with presence — something that feels like a pause, a reset, or a quiet indulgence — this is it.

Taste profile

Deep, toasty, and comforting. Expect notes of dark chocolate, roasted hazelnut, coffee bean, and a hint of smoke.

The cup is round and full, with a smooth, lingering finish and virtually no bitterness.

How to enjoy

Hojicha — Dark Roast is made for slowing down. Brew it hot for a rich, enveloping cup that feels almost like a warm dessert.

It also pairs beautifully with milk, creating a deeper, more indulgent hojicha latte — think less bright and aromatic, more creamy and grounding.

Iced, it becomes unexpectedly refreshing while retaining its depth — a bold, roasty contrast that still feels clean and easy to drink.

Naturally low in caffeine, it’s ideal for evenings, late-night rituals, or any moment that calls for warmth without intensity.
